METHOD OF ATTACHING BAILS TO CONTAINER BODIES.
iaoaice.
Original application filed August 18, 1917, Serial No. 187,009.
Serial No. 346,717.
To all whom it may concern."
Be it known that I, WVILLIAM J KENNY, a citizen of the United States, residing in Cicero, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Methods of Attaching Bails to Container Bodies, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates in general to the assembling of bails on container bodies and has more particular reference to the assembling of bails of the character described in the co-pending application of James H. Doyle and myself, filed August 18, 1917, Serial No. 186,873. This application is a division of my Jending application filed August 18, 1917, erial No. 187,009.
The invention has for its principal object the provision of a simple process of attaching bails of the character described in said Doyle and Kenny application mentioned, to the container body.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a process which will permit the assembling of such bails without requiring complicated or expensive mechanism or the attention of skilled mechanics.
Other objects and advantages of the. invention will be apparent as it is better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawing illustrating a preferred form of apparatus.
On the drawing,
Figure 1 is an elevation, partly broken away, of a container having bail ears, partly in section, and united therewith a bail;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of said bail ears and a portion of the bail inserted in said ear but not yet bent or twisted to locked position.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation shown partly in section of a. machine adapted to complete the assembling;
Fig. 4 is a section taken transversely of th machine;
Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of the device for clamping the bail in the final assembling operation;
Fig. 6 is a section taken substantially on the line 6-6 of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 7 is a similar section showing the parts after the operation is complete.
The bail 11' adapted to be assembled by Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented J an. 10, 1922.
Divided and this application filed Decemthe particular machine used to illustrate the present invention, is shown in Fig. 1 from which it will be noted that the two ends 11 are adapted to extend at right angles to the plane of the bail when in attached relation. Just outwardly of the ends 11 are provided two rectangular loops 12 which ar disposed in the plane of the bail, the lower part 13 of the wire of each loop extending through the opening let in the bail car 15. The bail thus constructed is assembled in the following manner:
This machine consists of a holding or clamping block or device 16 together with suitable means for turning'it after it has engaged the bail.
On the drawings reference character 17 indicates a'main frame of the machine having bearing brackets 18 at its top. Through these bearing brackets a shaft 19 extends and on the end of this shaft the block 16 is secured. This block, in the present instance, is provided with a central channel 21 and is cut away transversely to provide grooved walls 22 in which the bail ear may rest with the loop disposed in the channel as may be observed in viewing Figs. 3 and 5. The side of the block adjacent the container 23 is cut away at 24: to permit the body of the bail to pass from under the influence of the holding device. The bend is effected about the axis of the leg of the bail at the point a and it is only necessary that the holding device clamp the loop when it turns. The side of the holding device away from the'container is extended upwardly as indicated zit-25 to prevent the bail sliding out of the channel. In this movement the bail is clamped betw'een'the outer channel wall, Fig. 6 (which becomes the top channel wall Fig. 7), at b and the inner channel wall, (which becomes the bottom wall), at c. WVhen the clamping device starts its return movement the assembled bail is released and slides out of the channel over the curved surface 30. The shaft 14k is caused to oscillate by a rack 26 connected to a slide 27 moving in ways 27 and an eccentric rod 28 of an eccentric sleeve 28 on an eccentric 29. The rack 26 meshes with a pinion 31 on the shaft 19 so that reciprocation of the rack 26 produces the desired oscillation of the holding device 16. The bending action may be completely observed from Figs. 6 and 7 which also show the method oi? insertion of the end of the bail. Viewing Fig. 6 it will be noted that the end 11 extends through the aperture 14; and that after the loop 12 has been bent through an angle of 90 its part 13 extends therethrough.
The method of positioning the bails consists of providing loops at the bail ends, one of said loops being disposed under its lateral position and the other arranged angularly with respect thereto, then inserting the first mentioned loop in its bail ear, inserting the second mentioned loop in its bail ear and bending the latter to the same position as the former to lock the parts together.
It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing and without further description and it is-believed that various changes may be made in the steps of the process selected for the purpose of illu tration and of course in the apparatus without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacrificing all of its mate- I rial advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.
1 claim:
1. A method of attaching bails to con tainer bodies, which consists in providing the bail with loops near its ends, inserting the ends of the bail in the bail ears and completing the assembling by turning a loop angularly with respect tothe general plane of the body of the bail.
